After 3 years with no heat, I finally made it work again! Well, mostly. High doesn't work, but the other 3 speeds do. Weird.
New blower motor, resistor (old looked fine, but might as well replace it), new heater core awhile back, vacuum ball doohickey.
If high speed isn't working, make sure you have power to the high speed relay. High is direct feed, and doesn't go through the resistor pack.

Change the switch on the fan speed controller. I had the same issue and it was the switch all along;.

Long block done in paint. The front cover is just for masking purposes. I painted the one I'm using is silver with a new oil pump.

Finally got the exhaust mocked up on the frame. (y)
Now I gotta figure out reworking the drivers side down pipe to get some better fitment to the manifold to get a better angle to line up with the rest of the exhaust. (n)

Put a steering wheel on te coupe so I can load it up for a degreasing trip to the car wash, so I can weld up the previous owner's butchery on the engine crossmember, so I can install engine/trans.

I attempted to install the Astro steering shaft, but that didn't happen :mad:!!! The Cutlass was at bodywork when I modified it, and I guess I fudged some splines on the gearbox end of the shaft as well...I attempted to clean them up but no-go.
Soooo, as proper procedure for me I will be procuring another unit so I can mockup, modify, and paint it!

Looking forward to seeing this, I believe I am doing the C6 Z06 front and rear upgrade soon.
